Mascot design

Thanks Sora for this photo (and the plush)! This is an extremely rare Arakawa-related item. Rumor says this elephant mascot is designed by her long before she became a manga artist. I don't think many people know about it. At least I didn't. And only a super Arakawa fan like my friend Sora would go that far to investigate. Oh yes, she has talent for a detective. Awesome!
